In the period 1 January 2001 to 31 December 2005, a total of 71 crashes were reported. Of these, there were no fatalities, one required hospital attention and 13 required medical attention. The yearly crash figures are as follows: 2001, 13; 2002, nine; 2003, 13; 2004, 16; and 2005, 20. (3) This intersection is currently ranked 325th in the state for accident frequency and is considered to have a low priority for the installation of traffic signals relative to other more hazardous locations. The intersection has a high incidence of rear-end-category crashes on the Lord Street approach.
